You can do a great deal with Quartz technology in Tiger. Leopard has that
back-up feature. Time Machine I think it's called. I assume that's what
you're referring to. But most of what they discussed seemed not that
critical. Nice, but mostly accesories. Maybe with the exception of the
extended 64-bit support. Although I don't think the Finder will be 64-bit.
Not sure how that's going to work. They mostly only need it in the server
architecture anyway.
